Deranged US Senator Graham is keeping his Abraham Accords dream alive

Zionist Republican Senator Lindsey Graham continued to post on X that the expansion of the Abraham Accords and normalizing relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel is his and Trump’s ultimate goal. He said he had a fruitful conversation with fellow envoy Steve Witkoff

According to Graham, the MOU with Iran is just the first step. He wants to use it as a way to eventually expand the Abraham Accords and get Saudi Arabia to normalize relations with Israel.

Announced in 2020, these accords established diplomatic relations between Israel and several Arab states, beginning with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Bahrain.

I just had a very lengthy and productive discussion with @SEPeaceMissions @SteveWitkoff about the state of play regarding Iran.

After this discussion, it is my opinion that signing the MOU will be beneficial to the United States, in as much as the Strait of Hormuz will begin to…

He said he had spoken with fellow envoy Steve Witkoff and thinks the MOU is worth supporting. In his view, stopping the fighting and reopening the Strait of Hormuz could create the kind of “economic stability” that makes regional peace possible.

Graham has conveniently forgotten he was egging on this war; worse, he thinks there is still a chance of expansion of the Abraham Accords.

Trump put his signature, on Wednesday, on the “memorandum of understanding” to end the war, as did Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian, bringing it into effect two days earlier than previously expected.

It calls for the immediate opening of the Strait of Hormuz and lifting of a U.S. blockade of Iran’s ports.

The MOU was a clear victory for Iran, Graham’s archnemesis. Iran got its sanctions lifted and secured billions in reconstruction funds.

Just hours before the signing, Trump admitted that U.S. oil reserves would have run out in about four weeks if the Strait of Hormuz remained closed. Speaking at the G7 summit in France, he warned it would be “bedlam” if the oil ran out.

Abraham Accords — the Saudi perspective

During an interview with the European Council on Foreign Relations on Wednesday, Prince Faisal bin Farhan, while not addressing the Abraham Accords directly, said that Israel has repeatedly shown unwillingness to embrace the “political track.”

In Gaza, he said:

Israel is not indicating any willingness to withdraw

 In the West Bank, he pointed to:

a systematic dismantling of the potential for a Palestinian state.

And in Lebanon, he criticized Israel’s insistence on maintaining a buffer zone in Lebanese territory.

Israel has been committing war crime after war crime in  Lebanon, Gaza, and the West Bank, despite Trump’s Peace Plan for Gaza and the latest MOU with Iran.

Graham, of course, knows this. He told the Jerusalem Post’s Washington Conference last year that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman will not recognize Israel unless he can secure “an outcome better for the Palestinians.”

Threats didn’t work during negotiations

In late May, during a deadlock in negotiations, Donald Trump made a series of phone calls in which he pushed key leaders from the Middle East to join the Abraham Accords.

Trump demanded that Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, and Jordan sign on to the Abraham Accords and fully normalise relations with Israel.

Well, that didn’t happen; threats didn’t work.

But Graham still thinks normalisation is possible? It is a symptom of believing in oneself too much.

In response to Graham’s latest push for the Abraham Accords, Saudi social media influencer Abdulsalam Saleh shot back, telling Graham that war, threats, or economic sweeteners will not force Saudi Arabia into the Accords. Joining or not joining, he said, is Saudi Arabia’s sovereign right.

🚨 To Lindsey Graham… from Riyadh. Once again, the goal here is not merely to respond to your statements, but to dismantle your plan from start to finish.

On February 28, you ignited the war of “legendary fury” and “the lion’s roar.” You thought that taking down Iran would be a… https://t.co/VC14pWh9EN

Graham is sipping the American exceptionalism and Zionism juice a little too much to keep harping on something that is clearly a dead end without a Palestinian state. Perhaps, he should try to stop arming Israel and committing war crimes.
